Police rescued two workers of a jewel shop from whom an eight member gang had robbed two kg of gold and Rs seven lakh cash and then left them locked in their car here last night.
Police said they received the complaint from the local people that they were hearing noise from a locked-car parked opposite to a hotel and rushed to the spot.
They found the workers Manikandan and Muthuraja bound with clothes and crouched between the seats.
They broke open the car’s door and rescued them.
They told the police that they were carrying the gold for distribution in Tiruchi district after completing distribution in Sivaganga and Pudukotta district.
